Off-Campus Dining:
Again you are living in one of the most busiest cities in the world so there is literally business everywhere, food included. Whether you want a taco or a cappuccino, there are endless food options so get eating!

Diversity:
New York University takes in a variety of students that allow people to literally interact with the world. It is quite common for a group of friends to come from seven different ethnic backgrounds considering how many international students apply to NYU.

Guys & Girls:
I think everyone is just really hard working and powerful. I haven't been to school at NYU yet but from what I've seen on tours and orientations, both guys are girls just seem really in touch with themselves, wearing all different kinds of clothing that represents them and their interests, which I think it great.

Off-Campus Dining:
New York is FILLED with all kinds of diverse restaurants, so NYU has the bonus of being right in the hub of this. Although prices to vary depending on the restaurant, the diversity and convenience is extremely attractive.

Majors:
One of the reasons why I chose NYU was because of these amazing internship opportunities. I really hope I can have one or two internships during my college career, and I know that they will be critical in my education and success in my future job.

Off-Campus Housing:
I know of a lot of students that stay in nearby apartments and lofts in their junior and/or senior year at NYU and speak highly of their decision, so it's awesome that that's available for those who are interested.

Health & Safety:
New York is always going to be a dangerous place, that's something the university has no way to prevent because it is an urban campus. But I think they do a fantastic job on educating students on safety, especially transportation wise.

Overall ExperienceWhat's this?

NYU offers students a taste of the hustle and bustle they will most likely encounter in the real world once they graduate. It is an overpopulated institution, so you have to be ready to fight to gain certain academic opportunities, but cultivating such a habit may serve as indirect training for new graduates when they have to go about securing jobs in their respective fields. Life at NYU demands a certain kind of disposition; thus, it is not for everyone. For students who love NYC and the challenge and experience it offers, it is an exciting and ever-changing community. For those who desire a community-rich college experience, NYU is lacking in that area. However, you can make an amazing experience out of what the school does offer. Whatever your choice, get ready for a mix of demanding academics and wild experiences in the city. Finding a balance between the two is key at this big-city school.

Many students claim that the best part about attending NYU is living in New York City, while other students complain about the school's large tuition. Most often, students are dissatisfied with the lack of a campus or school spirit, and many students believe that the institution is run too much like a business, with the school using millions of dollars to make NYU a global institution instead of supporting its current students. Otherwise, most students appreciate the various benefits of living in the city, such as diverse and exciting nightlife options, a broad range of cuisines, and prestigious and diverse internship opportunities.
